Answer 1

your parents did a crappy job home schooling you, your grammar sucks! But I am neutral I think that there are great things about each.

Answer 2

WOW! um, yea about "i and the girls were having s*x doing drugs and drinking only 1 thing there is true" which one is true? s*x? DRUGS? DRINKING? . I am a homeschooler and I am not "sheltered" I am part time public school and I do a lot of things by my self as in no mommy to tell me what to do. s*x DRUGS AND DRINKING is just WRONG! No sheltering required.

And I thought my writing was horrible, just to let you know my brain hurts. GOODJOB

Answer 3

Ok, I think I know which of the 3 things you were actually doing.  Do you always go on and on about stuff like this?  (Every thing I say is said with a smile.)

Anyway,  I also gave my son choice of going back to public school or remaining home schooled.  I don't think I over protect my son.  So, what was your question?

Answer 4

One person responded: " its best for the children to see the outside world&fun to mix with other of their age &to make friends with &enjoy their company.it lets them learn to adjust with other children ,find joy in the trainin &learnin with joy, adjust to regular timings&kno of different culture ,language&races "

I whole-heartedly agree. It's nice that homeschooling can offer this. Admittedly, our timing may not be super regular, but everything else is a part of our homeschooling.

People will believe what they want to believe. Not to mention, I think there are a whole lot of people suffering from perseverative thinking--the inability to see something from a different angle once you've got one thought in your mind. Whether it's from personal experience with homeschoolers who were sheltered or just their own conception of what homeschooling means, they've got this faulty idea and are mentally unable to change it. It's actually a common symptom of learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, anxiety disorders and more. One source actually said it was "central to many psychological disorders".

Answer 6

Most are against it because they are ignorant, feel they are dumb or are union teachers worried about their jobs.

Answer 7

how many times are you going to ask this question???

Answer 8

high school was one of the best experiences of my life..I'm just now starting college and I have so many memories and friendships! That's not to say that a home schooled child wouldn't have these same things..but I was neighbors with a girl my age who was home schooled and she was constantly struggling to make friends and she was alittle upset about missing certain high school things..like prom.

BUT..I think homeschooling in middle school and younger would actually be more influential to a child but I would HIGHLY suggest not homeschooling in high school!

Answer 9

Your "question" is hard to read. It gives me a headache. It doesn't matter if you are just on the internet or writing an essay for school, you should always do your best.

Anyway, don't judge all homeschoolers by one example, such as your aunt. We don't all "overprotect, " but I cant say I would let my kids do any of the three things your aunt was talking about. Apparently you where "only doing one." Hummmm...

Going to get an asprin....

Answer 10

I couldnt read everything you wrote...but my daughter is 17 months old and I can't wait to homeschool her! We are very compassionate and open minded people and it is important to us that she views everyone as equals...I want her to be exposed to other cultures and beliefs and be OK with it..

In a public school her views on other cultures and belifs can become warped by what teachers and other students say...so you can say I'm sheltering all you want...But I want her to see things for how they really are...and not some middle aged POd teachers views...

Answer 11

The same parents that shelter their children in homeschool, would most likely do the same if their children were in public school. There is some sheltering that needs to happen. I do not wish to have my 10 year old daughters head filled with thoughts of boyfriends, s*x, drugs, alcohol and parties. Sadly that is what happenes in public school. We cannot dump the world in our childrens lap and expect them to make a responsible choice when they are so young and immature and public school children have "peer pressure". I will NEVER enroll my children into public school no matter how much they want it. The same way I would not take my 16 year old to get a tattoo, buy alcohol for her and her friends, allow her to have s*x in my house knowingly----no matter how much she may want it. I am the parent and I get to make the choices and I have my childrens best interest at heart. There are freedoms you get as a child, many children have way too many freedoms. The 1st answere talked about being in the real world, as if public school children are in the real world. They leanr how to relate with people their own age and thats it. My children make a menu from a recipe book, make a grocery list and we go shopping for the things they need for their dinner and all along the way they stop and chat with many, many adults. They are not shy or under socialized. There is a good form of sheltering and of course a bad. We are not hermits who stay locked up and only peek out every so often. We are very much so a part of society, daily. I have the opportunity to teach my children our family morals, ethics and culture and not some kid cursing like a sailor who watched an "R" rated movie and wants to tell my kid all about it.
